Languages and Scripts Reflecting Patani Malay Multiple Identities in Thailand’s Deep South
Get PDFThailand’s Deep South is linguistically complex, with five languages (Patani Malay, Standard Thai, Classical Malay, Standard Malay, Arabic) and three scripts (Thai, Arabic-based Jawi, Roman-based Rumi) in active use. This study provides an overview of the linguistic landscape of the region, followed by an interview-based analysis of Patani Malay speakers’ complex ethnic identity as reflected in their use of and attitudes toward each language and writing system. It concludes that each language and script occupies a unique domain, underlining the social reality that Patani Malay speakers possess multiple identities. The Patani Malay language reflects their Patani Malay ethnic identity. Standard Thai reflects their national identity as Thai citizens. Classical Malay written in Arabic-based Jawi script and Arabic reflect their Islamic identity, while Standard Malay written in Roman-based Rumi reflects their Nusantara ‘Malay world’ identity
Papers from the Seventh International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics

Heat Shock Protein 70 Gene of Ya-Fish (Schizothorax Prenanti) Responses to Thermal Stress and Bacterial Challenges
Get PDFThe homeostasis of Ya-fish (Schizothorax prenanti) health may be affected by a wide variety of stressful stimuli from the complex aquatic environment. Heat shock proteins are extensively distributed and highly conserved in various animals, particularly Hsp70 which is a novel and potential biomarker for stressful environmental factors and disease conditions. The expression of SpHsp70 was detected to evaluate the potential use of SpHsp70 as a warning signal for some stimuli. In this study, freshwater Schizothorax prenanti were exposed to thermal stress and pathogenic bacteria in the aquatic environment. Results showed that SpHsp70 were ubiquitously and differentially expressed in nine examined organs/tissues. In Ya-fish, stessorspecific reactions were observed after different bacterial challenges. At the acute stage, SpHsp70 expression was significantly up-regulated in the kidney after Streptococcus agalactiae challenge, however SpHsp70 expression significantly increased in the spleen after Aeromonas hydrophila challenge. These reactions suggest that the response of SpHsp70 to bacterial stimuli depends on different stressors. Hence, thermal sensitivity and stressorspecificity precluded the simple use of SpHsp70 as warning information in S. prenanti
Dietary Supplementation of Glycyrrhetinic Acid (GA) Promoting Lipid Lipolysis from Blunt Snout Bream Megalobrama amblycephala by TNF-α and LPL Expression
Get PDFGlycyrrhetinic acid (GA), which is a main active principal constituent of liquorice, is extensively used as a non-nutrition sweetener or antiinflammatory in Chinese medicine. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different GA levels on growth, biometric parameters, plasma lipid metabolites, Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene expression of Megalobrama amblycephala (average weight, 68.78 ±1.13 g). Three diets were formulated to contain various levels of GA (0, 30 and 300 mg/kg). Fish were randomly distributed into 12 cages and fed three times daily for 8 weeks. Dietary GA levels have little significant effect on weight gain and feed conversion ratio. Intraperitoneal fat ratio and viscera/body ratio decreased significantly as dietary GA levels increased, and hepatosomatic index tended to decrease as dietary GA levels increased. Plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, and non-esterified free fatty acid levels also decreased as dietary GA concentrations increased. Adipose tissue and liver TNF-α expression increased significantly with increasing dietary GA levels; whereas, LPL expression showed an opposite trend. Results of this study indicate that dietary supplementation of 300 mg/kg GA had a positive effect in promoting lipid lipolysis in Megalobrama amblycephala without having a negative effect on growth through the regulation of TNF-α and LPL expression
All Together Now: Developing a Community of School Librarians
No full textSchool librarians strive to be at the heart of their communities and build meaningful relationships with students, faculty, and parents. But when do they have the chance to work, share, grow, and learn with other librarians? It can get a little lonely sometimes. How can solo school librarians build community with other librarians to stay inspired, find support, and continuously improve their library programs and services? In this session, Windward District librarians share their answer to this question. Participants will learn the logistics and benefits of collaboration and be empowered to begin or deepen their own inter-school collaborative process

K-Popping: An Introduction to Korean Popular Music Albums
No full textFormer URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/59394The Hallyu or "Korean Wave" may be a familiar term, but with more interest in K-Pop due to international spotlights such as the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics or BTS’ recent success on US music charts, award shows, and radio play, you might be interested in adding K-Pop albums to your music collections. But what if you don’t know where to start?
Learn more about the history of K-Pop, its many genres, common traits, popular groups, special considerations and unique elements to be aware of for collection development and processing these albums for your library! Q&A to follow. Leave with a better awareness of K-Pop and ideas for promoting this catchy music –there’s so much more than "Gangnam Style!"
Recommended for public librarians and those interested in adding Korean music albums to their collections

Get PDFNasal substitution and the limited role of *NC̥ in Malay Dialects
Get PDFThis paper discusses the phonological restriction placed on voiceless obstruents following a nasal segment. It has previously been claimed by Malay scholars that such clusters are not permitted to take place in the surface representation in the Malay language. Therefore, nasal substitution is applied to the clusters to prevent them from occurring at the surface level. This does not, however, apply to the clusters that occur root-internally. The discussion of the phonological issue in this analysis is based on the data of three selected dialects of Malay, namely, Perak, Kelantan and Negeri Sembilan. The data reveals that nasal and voiceless obstruent clusters occurring root-internally might undergo a repair strategy, namely, nasal deletion, this means that segments in roots are not fully preserved as previously claimed. Also, the data from these dialects prove that voiced obstruents following a nasal segment at prefix boundaries may also undergo nasal substitution as voiceless obstruents do. The presence of nasal substitution in nasal-plus-voiced obstruent clusters, in particular, shows the limited role played by *NC̥ as it only allows voiceless obstruents to undergo nasal substitution. Hence, it is proposed that the Optimality Theory constraint CRISP-EDGE[σ] plays a role in accounting for both voiced and voiceless obstruent nasal substitution
